Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: The application dynamically resolves scenario directory globs and imports subcommand modules based on user-supplied names. Without strict regular expression validation and path resolution checks, attackers can leverage directory traversal sequences or load arbitrary Python modules.
Auth Bypass: The project's execution environment depends on templating engines like Jinja2. Vulnerabilities in these engines, such as the sandbox bypass via the `|attr` filter (CVE-2024-56326), can allow malicious templates to execute arbitrary code or bypass security constraints.
Path Traversal: A TOCTOU symlink vulnerability (CVE-2025-68146) in the filelock dependency could allow local attackers to conduct path traversal and arbitrary file writes during lock file creation.
